EP 51 Indigenous Resistance in the Ring of Fire with Michelle Daigle
<br /> In this week’s episode Hoku meets with <a href="https://www.geography.utoronto.ca/people/directories/all-faculty/michelle-daigle" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.geography.utoronto.ca/people/directories/all-faculty/michelle-daigle">Michelle Daigle</a>, Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Geographies at the University of Toronto, to discuss the ongoing struggle over the Ring of Fire, a massive mineral extraction project proposed across northern Ontario. Michelle is also Mushkegowuk Cree from Constance Lake First Nation in Treaty 9 territory, one of the nine First Nations directly affected by Ring of Fire development. Her scholarly work is grounded in small-scale collaborations with Cree, Anishinaabe, and Oji-Cree Elders and Knowledge Keepers in Treaty 9 to understand how these communities embody care work, as well as land- and water-based governance, in the context of colonial policies and land dispossession, gendered and racial violence, and the impacts of extractive industries and environmental destruction. While government and industry frame the project as essential to Canadian economic sovereignty, Michelle challenges this perspective and exposes the exploitation and oppression behind the massive marketing campaign. She grounds her alternative vision of sovereignty in Indigenous governance and kinship to lands, waters, and more-than-human kin. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> This conversation brings attention to the more than 32,000 mining claims across First Nations territories that make up The Ring of Fire, and the recent passage of federal and provincial legislation designed to accelerate major resource extraction. Michelle shares how her research examines the environmental, social, and political impacts of mining and infrastructure development, from threats to waterways, wildlife, and peatlands to concerns about Indigenous consultation and environmental justice. Drawing on Cree understandings of the James Bay Lowlands as “breathing lands,” she reflects on how care for lands, waters, animals, plants, and future generations forms the foundation of Indigenous governance. And she encourages listeners and students hold up community and youth knowledge and leaderships such as <a href="https://youtu.be/QPmwBveOAn8?si=fFawkFbjCOpUNSxS" data-type="link" data-id="https://youtu.be/QPmwBveOAn8?si=fFawkFbjCOpUNSxS">Jeronimo Kataquapit and relations</a>. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> This podcast is created by the <a href="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fheclab.com%2Fdr-heather-castleden%2F&data=05%7C02%7Chokulania%40uvic.ca%7Ca462fd0803d04a3d9b2a08dc801147c5%7C9c61d3779894427cb13b1d6a51662b4e%7C0%7C0%7C638526058931463892%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=MAuznh9eyF%2FFiTRhKMk1f8nP6dxuiNg4WvewOGR%2B8Hc%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Impact Chair in Transformative Governance for Planetary Health</a> at the University of Victoria, with production support from <a href="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcitedmedia.ca%2F&data=05%7C02%7Chokulania%40uvic.ca%7Ca462fd0803d04a3d9b2a08dc801147c5%7C9c61d3779894427cb13b1d6a51662b4e%7C0%7C0%7C638526058931463892%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=t3KKOkUefkSGMaCSYvIeY%2BtGRveHWMlZTq4eEdJM7TI%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cited Media</a>.

EP 50: Kanaka ʻŌiwi Resistance to Settler Science at Mauna a Wākea with Iokepa Casumbal-Salazar
<br /> This week on the Indigenous Planetary Health podcast, hosts Hoku and Melia share an emotional conversation with Iokepa Casumbal‑Salazar about his new book, <a href="https://www.upress.umn.edu/9781517902469/first-light/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">First Light: Kanaka ʻŌiwi Resistance to Settler Science at Mauna a Wākea</a>. Iokepa reflects on the long, winding journey that brought this book into being—one shaped by accountability to community, by deep listening, and by the responsibility of carrying stories that are much larger than any single voice, while remaining accountable to the people and places that hold them. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Together, we hold space for both resistance and reverence. The conversation moves through the tensions between settler science and Indigenous knowledge, the force of militarization and state power, and the everyday practices of care that sustain Kanaka ʻŌiwi relationships to Mauna a Wākea. We reflect on the 2015 and 2019 blockades at Mauna Kea, situating them within over 130 years of Kanaka ʻŌiwi resistance to U.S. occupation and settler colonialism, and tracing how earlier battles over telescope development shaped the political, legal, and cultural formations of kiaʻi (protectors, guardians). <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> At the heart of this episode is both struggle and joy. Iokepa shares what it means to write from within a living movement—one that resists settler science, capital, and law, while also re‑centering ceremony, relationship, and the sacred. This conversation invites listeners to imagine a Kanaka ʻŌiwi futurity rooted not in more concrete and extraction, but in aloha ʻāina and deep relationships—to land, to ancestors, and to one another. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://campusdirectory.ucsc.edu/cd_detail?uid=jsalaz27" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Iokepa Casumbal-Salazar</a> is currently an Associate Professor in <a href="https://cres.ucsc.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Critical Race & Ethnic Studies</a> at <a href="https://www.ucsc.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC)</a>.

EP 49: Restoring Jurisdiction, Restoring Well-Being: A Conversation with Brittany Brinkworth and Shona Nelson, leaders from Doig River First Nation
<br /> This week on the podcast, we explore what is termed the Modern Treaty Era in Canada through the powerful story of the Doig River First Nation, located in the Upper Peace River region of eastern British Columbia and western Alberta. After decades of legal advocacy, the nation achieved a major milestone in 2022 with a Treaty Land Entitlement (TLE) settlement that returned 52 square kilometers of land to their jurisdiction that had been wrongfully taken and opened for settlement in the early 1900s. Hoku and Heather are joined by two leaders from Doig River First Nation: Brittany Brinkworth, an elected council member overseeing the health, social, education, and housing portfolios for the nation and Shona Nelson, Band Manager and a driving force behind implementing the nation’s vision for the TLE. Brittany and Shona are both advocates for decolonizing approaches that prioritize Dane-zaa cultural values. Together, they share what it means to restore jurisdiction over land, governance, culture, and community well-being.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> This podcast is created by the Archipelagos of Indigenous-led Resurgence for Planetary Health research collective.
